The thing that always stands out in his songs are his fantastic yet bizarre melodies and unreal bass playing. I mean, he is not just good at bass, he is markedly tasteful. He's got a remarkably fun singing voice; evoking Sly Stone or George Clinton but unique in its own way.
"Do You Remember the Days in New York?" is a delightfully groovy head bobber with smooth synth and guitar interpolation with also delightful bass synth and a bridge that will knock your socks off!
"Wish Our Party Would've Last" is almost like a fantastic Prince rock ballad but with an overall strangeness that fit with these strange modern times.
"Live, Learn, Bye, and Fly" shows off his tasteful yet technically gifted guitar playing with feverish Isley Brothers style funk riffs alongside his gnarly bass playing and fascinating drum programming. There is a really stirring synthesizer conclusion with some lovely counterpoint.
"The Sunken Place Instrumental" is almost like a Drexciya track but with fiery live bass alongside synth bass and a magnetic sounding drum groove.
"Going Cold Turkey From Your Touch" is a proggy, bluesy pop-rock song with another world class bassline and some really funky guitar and bass drum work.
"The Price I Have To Pay For Not Loving You" is a straight up Isley Brother's style jam in the vein of "Voyage to Atlantis" with just about everything that could go right in a song!!
